Questions to consider for your mystery shopper survey

Use these questions as suggestions when editing your copy. Keep the ones that fit your purpose and add any details your process needs.

  • What task did you attempt during the visit?
  • What did staff say or do at key points?
  • What made the shopping experience easy or difficult?

How to use the responses

Use consistent scenarios across visits and keep observation separate from interpretation. Review patterns across several visits before drawing conclusions about a location or team.

How to customize and share this template

  1. Write down the decision the research should inform and define who can give relevant answers.
  2. Adapt the questions to the audience. Ask one thing at a time, use balanced choices, and offer a suitable way to say that a question does not apply.
  3. Try the survey with a small relevant group, fix confusing wording, and decide how you will review responses before sharing it more widely.

Frequently asked questions

How is a mystery shopper survey different from customer feedback?
Mystery shopping follows a planned scenario and observation criteria. Customer feedback describes a real customer's experience, which may involve many different situations.
Can I customize this survey template?
Yes. Choose Use this template to make your own copy in Youform. Edit the questions and colors, review the whole flow, then share a link or embed it on your website. See Youform plans for advanced features.
How do I avoid leading survey questions?
Ask about one topic at a time, use neutral wording, and avoid describing the answer you hope to receive. Balanced options and an appropriate not-applicable choice help respondents answer more accurately.
How many responses do I need for useful research?
It depends on the decision, the audience, and how participants are selected. A small group can reveal issues worth exploring, but it does not establish what a whole market thinks. Decide what conclusions your sample can support before reporting them.
